Trinity's progress


This has been a great first week at home with Trinity. Trinity is definitely a fighter and we truly feel like she is going to prove the doctors wrong. As we told you in the last blog, we are having to do a catheter every 4-6 hours, but in the past two days things have changed. Trinity has started to urinate more on her own. I called the urologist on Wednesday to check and see if we were doing something wrong, much to our surprise he told us that she could be on the road to recovery and starting to urinate more on her own. We have been able to do less catheters and Trinity has been having more wet diapers throughout the day. From the first day Shannon and I have both felt that Trinity would pull through this and prove everyone wrong. It feels really good knowing that even the urologist feels like she could pull through this and she may not have to be catheterized for life. We ask that you would continue to lift Trinity up in prayer. We as parents would love to see the day that Trinity would not have to be catheterized at all and that she would be able to empty her bladder on her own. She has been through more then Shannon and I combined in her 15 days of life and has handled it all with so much strength. God has used Trinity's life in so many ways to bring people closer to him. Someday I hope Trinity understands what a significant meaning her life has had on others. Thank you for your continued prayers and support. We can't wait for the day that she can meet all of you. Love-Shannon, Miranda, Aubree, and Trinity

That's just AWESOME! Amazing how our little girls can show the world so much in their short little lives! Keep up the great work. If you haven't heard the song "Amazing" by Janel, you need to listen to it and you will feel so blessed by it! Describes these little fighters so well!
Love,

Hello we are the family in Grand Rapids with a daughter with spina bifida. It has been wonderful to read your blog as well. It is encouraging to hear how God is working in your little Trinity as He is in our little Whitney. They are gifts, aren't they? We will continue to pray for your family in the weeks of appoinments ahead. I know it gets a little much at times. Whitney is now 9 weeks old and every week gets easier.
Prayerfully,
Matt, Susan, Fiona, & Whitney Nelson
